Brittany was hanging out at the firehouse just because. Yes, really just because she could. Actually she was cooking for everyone, because it gave her something to do and she liked to be nice to people. Brittany was also entertaining Marley, the new firehouse dog that she had brought up not too long ago. It was a welcomed distraction, one that she needed. The blonde was still mad at Matt for going after Kelly at such a vulnerable time. Yes Brittany was worried about Kelly’s head too that day. She’d spent most of the night coaxing him to talk to her.

Unlike Matt, she knew better than to strong arm her husband into talking. It took finesse. Brittany didn’t blame Matt for trying to help, it was more the way he had gone about it. Kelly had enough pushing around by others in his life, he didn’t need that from Matt too. No one touched Kelly and didn’t hear from her. She was halfway through her pregnancy and probably going into the momma bear stage. That of course would extend to Kelly. You simply didn’t mess with Kelly and not get on Brittany’s bad side. She felt bad for shoving Matt the other day but maybe a good shove had done him some good.

Did angry really cover what Gabby felt at that moment, no not really. Who did Brittany Severide think she was telling Matt anything about anything? The one thing you never messed with was family and if some blonde bimbo from Vegas thought she could just waltz in with Severide and start telling anyone what to do. Ha she had another thing coming. After what Matt had told her about the whole incident in the toilets she was lucky that Antonio was unavailable as Gabby felt like having Brittany arrested for something, anything just to shake her up and bit and teach the woman a lesson.

Kelly had messed up, Gabby understood it and why and the people involved too but what did the bimbo know of any of it. People lived and died by the order of a lieutenant and if Brittany was unable to handle being married to a fire-fighter then there were many other badge bunnies that could show her the way to the police department. Gabby stormed into the fire house looking for Brittany, there was no cooling off time or chill out no she was going to scream at the woman until she understood.

“Hey, Shrink.” She yelled seeing Brittany playing with Marley the new dog. Gabby wasted no time in slamming her bag down on the squad table before she marched directly toward Brittany. “If you ever mess with my family I’ll make sure you regret ever opening that mouth of yours!” She snapped standing far too close to her for anything that could be classed as a friendly conversation. Gabby never cared who saw her or what they thought, all they needed to know was that family came first and if anyone thought otherwise they were wrong.

Kelly was on his way to the kitchen to get himself a snack when he heard Gabby yelling at Brittany, telling her that if she ever messed with her family, she would make her regret opening her mouth.
"Back off, Dawson. You don't have all of the facts," he snapped. Great. Now she was in the middle of things. And of course she was taking Matt's side. Why wouldn't she? They were in love and screwing each other. Okay, that wasn't fair. Still, she needed to get out of Brittany's face.

He then reached for Brittany's wrist.
"Come on, Babe. Let's get out of here," he said. They could go hide out in his office. This was why he didn't usually do confrontations: because they always just led to trouble. Case in point: him going off on Matt. He had really screwed up and he knew it.

Brittany Severide

Brittany saw Gabby coming and she looked angry, Brittany started backing up from the woman and Marley ran off. Brittany wasn't usually the type to fight. She was now some halfway through her pregnancy but that didn't mean she was any different than her usual self. She'd stood up to Matt because he had been hurting Kelly and she knew Matt wouldn't really hurt her. Gabby on the other hand just might. She didn't like the threats. Brittany took a few deep breathes.

If it was one person that Brittany was glad to see it was Kelly. She didn't hesitate to move with him and she put him between herself and Gabby. There was no arguing with Kelly. Brittany was trembling, but didn't really want to go into his office. This was a discussion that clearly needed to be worked out between them.

Brittany didn't say anything to Gabby, she knew if she opened her mouth it was going to make matters worse. Leaning on Kelly she put a hand on her stomach. The morning sickness was over but there were many other things to worry about now, like her stress levels. Brittany just looked at Kelly shaking her head no when he said they were going to get out of there. "You and Matt, you need to talk babe" she managed out.

@matt

Matt heard Gabby's voice raising at Brittany. It was hard not to hear from down the hallway. He took off at a run. What was going on? He arrived just in time to hear Kelly telling her to back off. Even Matt knew better than to mess with Severide's memo and his fiance clearly didn't have the picture, yet. Matt put his hands on Gabby's shoulder from behind. "It's not worth it babe" he stated. He knew better than to try and back her down by taking the other side. That wasn't going to work. He had to find neutral ground without appearing neutral.

Matt could notice that Brittany was backing down, was getting in a fight with someone in the house really worth ending up with CPD here? and possibly losing Louie? No, no it wasn't but he wasn't about to vocalize that. Matt lightly squeezed her shoulder and put a hand around her waist. He'd started all this and he didn't need Gabby to fight his battles either.

Though she was worked up and he knew it would take a bit. Though he didn't want to say anything to piss off Kelly anymore. The man was already in a protective mood. He didn't think Kelly would ever hit Gabby, but he knew that Kelly was willing to trade punches with Matt over Gabby's mouth. Not something he wanted. Matt just gently massaged the one shoulder that he did have a hold on.

Gabby raised her brow at Kelly who was jumping to the aid of his wife, the same wife who had dared to lay a hand on Matt and then well they all knew what had happened. No if Kelly thought for one moment she was going to let some two bit piece from Vegas shove Matt around then they both had another thing coming. That day it just happened to be a very angry Dawson. Gabby could see that Brittany was backing away from her, oh so she could mouth off to anyone else but when it came to getting it back she was afraid?

The lack of words from Brittany only infuriated her more as she glared at the woman then turned her glare right onto Kelly. “I don’t have the facts then why don’t you explain it then?” Gabby snapped as she rolled her eyes the minute Kelly spoke about them getting out of there. “So is this another one of your running stunts Severide? I trusted you when it came to her!” Gabby snapped as she pointed to Brittany. “She does that to Matt and what do you do? Defend the crazy woman who isn’t woman enough to argue for herself?” Really what could she have expected to be different, husband and wife they of course were going to protect each other.

Gabby was all riled up to start yelling at them both when she felt the hand on her shoulder. She was partially ready to back down on the issue when Matt said those words. She knew he had been careful not to take the other side but she was defending him? Why was that ‘not worth it’? When Matt’s hold on her included an arm around her waist she gave him a glare equally to the one Brittany and Kelly had just received. “Don’t try to ‘it’s not worth it’ me Matt. It is worth it because you are, they don’t get to treat you like that.” She said trying to make her point known to both sides of it.

She was crazy enough as it was without a fire house wife starting on her family but that was the end of the stick she had got and she was hardly going to stand for that. Had it been another other wife she would have knocked them clean on their ass by now but it was Kelly and in that his wife deserved a little more respect. The fact she was pregnant hardly hurt either. “So what is it now, you both like getting on at people in bathrooms now or is it just you’re two afraid to do it in public view? Do anything to Matt again and you’ll regret me being on the wrong side.” She challenged knowing she was pushing her luck but she had a point to make with both Severide’s. Gabby placed her hand over Matt's hand on her shoulder as if she was trying to keep herself in place by holding onto him.

[Deleted]

Kelly scowled as Gabby repeated his comment about not having all the facts, asking him to explain them to her, asking him if it was another one of his stunts, mentioning the fact that she had trusted him with Brittany, mentioning what she had done to Matt and the fact that he had defended her.
"Of course I defended her! She defended me when he wouldn't back the hell up!" he retorted. G-d, was this actually happening again? Of course she was taking Matt's side! Everyone did! Except for Brittany. She was the only one who was still on his side.

His eyes flickered as Matt came out and grabbed Gabby, telling her not to fight with them because it wasn't worth it. Damn right it's not worth it. No one listens anyway, he thought. His scowl then deepened as Gabby told Matt that it was worth it because he was worth it and that they shouldn't treat him the way they had.
"All I did was tell him to back off and give me space, which he didn't do! And then he brings up Darden like he actually knows him! None of you knew jack shit about Darden! I did! And unlike you, he actually listened to me when I told him I needed some time!" he shot back. G-d, he was f-g sick of this! Why the hell were they pressing this?

His eyes then flickered as she continued on, asking them if they liked going at each other in a bathroom or were too afraid to handle things in a public space, telling them that if they did anything to Matt again, they'd regret being on opposite sides.
"You know what?! I'm done! I'm done trying to explain or defend myself when it's obvious no one cares or wants to hear it!" he spat out, hurt flashing in his eyes. He had told them what he needed and they weren't listening! Why didn't they ever listen? "Just forget it, Britt. There were only two people in this house who accepted me as is and they're both gone," he said softly, his shoulders slumping slightly. Thank God Brittany let him be himself though. If he didn't have her, he wasn't sure what he'd do...

OOC
Yes, some things are skewed in Kelly's head at the moment.

[Deleted]

we've lost it all my heart is beating im gonna pass the test Brittany Severide, Gabriela Dawson, @kellyseveride Matt held a grip on Gabby, he wasn’t going to let her go at Brittany. Mainly because Kelly would kill him for letting the girl’s fight. Not only that, just because they were disagreeing didn’t mean that Matt didn’t care. He held his tongue as Kelly started flying off the handle about Darden. Matt’s grip on Gabby though it was easy to tell he was just holding his tongue. His movements said as much as he just slowly tugged her back. “Babe. Come on” he tried to focus on just getting Gabby to focus on him for a moment. He really didn’t need her starting a fight with squad, this wouldn’t go over well with the chief if they kept this up. He noticed Brittany turn her back. He wanted to cringe hearing her voice talk to Kelly. How could she be so gentle when everyone was screaming at her? Brittany didn’t do well with threats it was evident in the way she was carrying herself. Matt kept Gabby away from the upset pregnant woman. Brittany might be the type to run now… but if she decided to let loose, he didn’t want to know what that woman was really capable of. On top of that, she did work at HQ and he didn’t really want Gabby fired for attacking her. “Deep breathes Kelly. I’ve got you” she didn’t care that Gabby was yelling at her. But only Kelly would be able to see the fear in her eyes. The same fear that had been there when Voight threatened her. In some awkward way she was trusting Matt to keep Gabby from following through with her threat. She trembled all that mattered was Kelly right now. Brittany stepped towards Kelly and pushed him a bit towards his office. Maybe Gabby and Matt would just leave them alone. Matt hugged Gabby making soft shushing sounds in her ear. She was mad, she was angry and he wanted her to get it out; but not like this. There was no need for this. Matt started pulling some of Gabby’s hair behind her ear. He also knew that if Gabby were to go after a pregnant Brittany… the wrath of Kelly would know no end. He also didn’t need Kelly fighting with Gabby and this was straight where this was headed right now. This fight was not worth it, regardless what she thought at the moment. Notes , other cool stuff

“And you ever think of why he didnt back up?” Gabby snapped right back at Kelly, she had no idea exactly what had gone on between the two but he needed to explain to Brittany the rules of the house before she got them explained in an entirely different way. Why were they arguing over things? They had finally come to terms with everything and now the Vegas bimbo had come between them all again why was this happening to them all? Had they not been through enough already, Darden, Shay, Mills, the Chief why was Brittany doing this to them?

Gabby stood there with a gobsmacked look on her face, did he really just say that do her? It was the first time in this argument that she actually felt hurt by what had been said by Kelly and it showed on her face despite the fact she tried to hide it. Gabby took a few steps back with Matt until he called her babe, oh now she was focused alright as she turned her head to glare at him. “Don’t you dare babe me right now.” She snapped not caring who she started a fight with as it was getting personal.

It was clear to her that Brittany was far from the fighting type, well that about did it for her. Honestly who kept themselves away from a fight or maybe she was mad enough to start one. When she watched Brittany push Kelly toward his office it was the first smart thing the woman had done she thought. In a way it made Gabby appreciate Brittany a little though she was still fizzing mad when Matt made soft shushing sounds in her ear. She wanted to snap at him too but when he pulled some of her hair behind her ear she knew he was only trying to help.

Gabby relaxed some until Kelly said he was done, she glare as she saw the hurt flashing in his eyes. Was this was it all came down to now? Then when he spoke about the two people, Gabby gave Brittany a sympathetic look. “You’re done? Really is that all it takes for you now? How dare you say no one cares or wants to hear it! I thought we were friends and now you’re just done, how are you going to handle a kid if you are done at the first sign of trouble?” Gabby snapped motioning toward Brittany as she tugged against Matt’s hold on her.

“Do you even hear yourself? Two people in the house accepted you and they are both gone.” She repeated feeling for Brittany for probably the first time in the argument. “You’re pregnant wife is stood right there Kelly! A minute ago she understood you and hell she was protecting you and now what?” Gabby asked as she turned to glare at Matt too. Oh if he thought he was getting away with this argument then he had another thing coming. “Brittany I’m sorry but I yelled at you when it should be these two I yelled at.” Gabby said uncharacteristically as she pointed between Matt and Kelly.

“You dare Babe me Casey, and you Severide you dare mention the only two people and leave out your wife who’s right here. It’s both your faults and I’m disappointed in you both, to think I trusted either of you to watch out for each other when you can’t even speak to each other.” She said starting to become more upset than angry and she looked toward Brittany apologetically.

[Deleted]

Kelly inhaled and exhaled, focusing on Brittany as she coached him, telling him to take deep breaths. He knew he was losing it, but who could blame him? No one was listening to him. They all insisted that they knew him when they didn't. He just needed some time to think---to get his head on straight. Brittany. Britt...she could help him She was helping him.

When Gabby asked him if he had ever wondered why Matt hadn't backed off, he frowned.
"Yeah, because he's too damn pushy," he muttered. And he didn't like that one little bit. But of course, Gabby wouldn't see it that way. No, she'd see it as him trying to help, which yes, he knew that Matt was, but sometimes he didn't realize that he just needed a damn minute.

His face then blanched as she went off on him for saying that he was done, asking how he dared to say that no one cared and that he was done, wondering how he'd handle raising a kid if he just gave up at the first sign of trouble. Maybe she's right. Do I really have any room to talk? he wondered. After all, he had Brittany and their child to think about now. He couldn't just give up like this. Still...he needed time to get his head together.

He remained silent as she continued, asking if he had ever heard himself, repeating what he had said about only two people in the house caring about him, reminding him that Brittany was right there, had defended him, protected him, apologizing to Brittany, saying that she should've been yelling at the lieutenants. I screwed up. I'm always screwing up, he thought to himself. When was he going to stop putting his foot into it?

He then scowled but kept silent as Gabby continued berating them, calling him out for implying that Brittany didn't care about him, saying that she was disappointed in them both and that she shouldn't have trusted them to look out for one another.
"Okay, I get it: I screwed up. Are you done?" he spat out. "Come on, Britt. Let's just go," he suggested, heading for the exit. He didn't want to have to deal with this anymore. He was just done.

[Deleted]

we've lost it all my heart is beating im gonna pass the test @taggoeshere Matt wasn't put off by Gabby's glares he just leveled one of his own. One that told her to chill. It wasn't a mean spirited look. However, it was similar to the authoritative ones he got when he was putting his foot down to someone while they were on a call. There was little room for arguments. If lines were going to cross right now they were going to cross but he didn't care as he took over as her boss. "Don't make me have to you write up Dawson" he really didn't want to do it but if he had to, he would. "Come here" he stated as he took a grip on her arm. It was only firm enough to keep her from launching off on the other Lieutenant. Matt was holding Gabby back, he could tell that she wanted after Severide and he was not going to let her strike a senior officer. Nope. Gabby yelling at him didn't phase him in the least right now. They could discuss this later but someone had to have a clear head and it certainly wasn't the other three. Gabby was trying to get a write up, Severide was working her up and Brittany was too scared to say anything, though he could tell she was trying to help diffuse the situation. This house was full of hot heads. Matt included. Yes this was a great argument to be having. Bringing baby Severide into this was really uncalled for. Though Matt kept his mouth shut. For once in his life, he could learn to do the right thing? No right now he had to settle down Gabby before he could diffuse this situation. Settle down Gabby and let Brittany deal with Kelly. Pushy?? Who was the all mighty squad Lieutenant calling pushy? If he had been pushy he would have kicked Severide off the call. He wouldn't have waited until the hospital to make him set his head straight. "Gabby" he whispered into her ear. "Hey let's go take an inventory check" It was more of an order than a suggestion. Though he was going to join her. ooc: let's all stay in this thread even though we are moving to different locations? because I figure at some point the four will reconvene after talking it out among the couples? britt still to come Notes , other cool stuff

Brittany didn't like the arguing, she was still trying to retreat Kelly into his office. Ignoring everything that Gabby was throwing at Kelly. If she got up in arms what Gabby was saying then it would set Kelly off. Brittany tugged on Kelly's sleeve. She just shook her head no. "Look at me Kelly." Brittany put her back to the office. Keeping her voice much lower she kept her tone reassuring. "Don't let her get to you. You are going to rock the dad thing" she smiled for his sake. Honestly, that was a low blow and when Gabby apologized Brittany found herself not wanting the apology.

Gabby was under Brittany's skin. Brittany was quiet at least towards Dawson and Casey. Brittany was glancing at the ground. Despite the fact that Gabby was acting like a completely bitch to her, Brittany was willing to just walk away. Brittany closed the office door locking it after she pulled Kelly inside. Great now she had to settle him down.

"Take a few breathes Kelz" she whispered as she wrapped arms around him. Brittany forced everything down. She was a psychologist, it was something she did with poise. Yes, she was human but right now Kelly was the one who needed her. Her arm came around the back of his neck as she tossled with his hair. "I want you to focus on me okay. Forget about them." She didn't mean turning his back on them; but she just wanted his attention diverted for the moment. Getting Kelly to talk was difficult but she knew this time she had to make him talk. Usually she left it, to come back to it.

"Sweetheart, take a breathe and tell me about the call?" she couldn't make any official record of their conversation but nothing prevented them from talking as husband and wife. As long as he didn't have to officially be sent to a psychologist she could talk to him about anything. Her hand ran along his back.

Pushy, he thought Matt was pushy well he was about to meet the wrong side of pushy Gabby that was for sure. Matt was just trying to help him and he was calling him pushy, where was the justice in the world? Gabby had no idea what had been said in their argument but the one thing no one ever did was hurt Matt. Family was everything to her and it was worse still considered she felt Kelly was as much family to her as Matt was. Family arguments were never fun but she was hardly going to leave her side of it out.

She knew she had been harsh about the baby but maybe it was her only way of letting him know just what he had to do. There was no room for running away or going to Vegas for a second round anymore, yes he had family to help him every single step of the way but there was no chance he was going to get an easy ride of it all. He needed to get his head together and understand that he needed to do his job and lead Squad before someone managed to get themselves killed.

Gabby wanted to punch him when he asked if she was done, “You... after everything... how can you be like this?” She asked trying to be calm and unfeeling about it but it seemed to have the opposite effect on her. She was angrier than ever and she wanted to shake some sense into him before things got any worse than they were already. The fact that Brittany was, well she was hardly helping at all trying to pull Kelly away when she was trying to make a point to him. What was the woman failing to see she was trying to help her too in getting him to understand? Oh no of course it was all her fault for practically telling the truth.

Gabby was put off her rampage by the glare she received from Matt, what was his issue now? It was that look he got when they were on a call, no arguing and all business as she felt the lines between personal and professional getting too close to call which was which anymore. “You wouldn’t dare.” She said doubling her death stare before she second guessed he would do just that. “Backing down... Lieutenant.” She said with as much annoyance in that last word as she could muster.

She looked at the grip Matt had on her arm as she pulled slightly to follow Brittany and Kelly. She swore that if he went all boss on her he would find himself on the couch that night. “Inventory... yes Lieutenant, sorry Lieutenant, on my way Lieutenant.” She said still keeping her glare front and centre as she knew the difference between asking and ordering. Not that she liked it but it needed to be done as she set off to get started on the inventory not caring if Matt was still attached to her arm or not. She would gladly drag him with her if not to simply unload onto him too.

Kelly needed help, of what kind she had no idea but if yelling was failing then it needed to be something different and she was hardly the hugs and kisses type. “I try to stick up for you and you pull me off like... I don’t know what.” She snapped as she turned on her heels not caring that the line was blurred between professional and personal.

Kelly's face blanched as he started to shrink into himself again. This was all too much. Everyone was pissed and yelling. And he had caused this. He hadn't meant to do that. But he had. Okay. How could he fix this? He needed to fix this. All he had wanted was a chance to catch his breath and get his head on straight. And now...yeah, so not happening. Okay, he had to figure out how to make things right.

Hearing Brittany's voice, he focused on her as she led him away, telling him to look at her and to not let Gabby get to him as he was going to rock being a dad.
"I don't know. Maybe she's right," he murmured. What do I know about being a dad? Absolutely nothing. I'm the worst kind of guy to be a father. She'd be better off with someone else, he thought to himself. Gabby had obviously seen that, and it was only a matter of time before Brittany did too.

His eyes flickered as she told him to take a few deep breaths, forget about Matt and Gabby, and focus on her, tousling his hair.
"Thanks...for being here," he said, smiling softly. When she asked him to tell her about the call, he sighed. "It was the same type of fire that we faced when Shay died. I flashed back, which could've gotten people killed. Matt had every right to lay into me," he responded. What had I been thinking? I should've just dealt with it,he thought to himself. "I don't know, Babe. Maybe it was a sign that I'm no longer cut out for this and need to hang up my badge," he continued. He could always work in Arson or get work on a boat or something. Yeah, that would be good.

Brittany could care less if she had practically slammed the door in Gabby's face. Kelly was more important and she didn't need miss nosey putting her ears where they didn't belong. Brittany was angry at Gabby for setting Kelly off into this. "She's wrong Kelly." The tone was matter of fact and a bit more stern than Brittany usually was but not angry. Brittany could separate her anger for one person from seeping into her feelings for another. It was called sitting on it until she could outlet them later, in other constructive ways. Kelly needed her, it didn't matter how she felt about the situation right now.

When she knew she had his attention back she returned a soft smile and ran her hand along the side of his face. Then he started talking about fire being a trigger she just hugged him. Inside the psychologist was screaming at her. Screaming at her to make him get help. With Kelly isn't wasn't so simple. "Kelly, promise me something" she knew this was going to sting, so she tried to lessen the blow as easily as she could. "Promise me you'll come home and talk to me." She knew what incidents like this could do.

While she didn't think he was unfit for duty, she was afraid. What if this was the beginning of something worse? No. She had to head this off now, before it became a thing. If she could just get him to open up to her that might be enough. Enough she could help him. "You aren't ready to hang up your badge yet. We both know it." she stated as she sat down on the bunk and pulled him down beside her. When she had first met him he fought so hard to stay at his job, she knew then there was no taking the firefighter out of Kelly Severide. "The Kelly Severide I married, doesn't give up on anything" she reminded him as she kissed the top of his head. No she just had to put his head in the right direction.

we've lost it all my heart is beating im gonna pass the test Gabriela Dawson Gabby was protective. If it was one thing that Matt had learned about her, it was that. Both of them like to trade off the hotheadedness in equal part. Today was no exception. Matt was just trying to diffuse the situation before things flew out of hand. Well clearly they had already been thrown into left field. Though until someone smacked the ball out of the park, it was in someone's court and it was more like a ping pong match gone wrong. Matt knew that Kelly needed his head as much as anyone in the room understood that same sentiment. They just all had different ways of showing it. But Gabby lashing out at Brittany was NOT the way to go. Then again neither was slamming Kelly into the bathroom wall, but that was a moot point there was no rewind button. If it was one thing that Matt had learned about Brittany, it was that when it came to Kelly she seemed to have some sort of magic touch that no one else could master. He knew he had to wind down the catalyst, in this case himself and Gabby. Though Gabby was the one who was on the hot headed streak. One that needed to go. Oh he would dare. Gabby didn't intimidate him. He knew she was angry, and if she had to take it out on him then she had to take it out on him. That's what he was there for. "I would dare" he stated simply. He lightly took her by the arm. "But I don't want to, so come on" he encouraged her quietly. If he had to then he would but when she said she was backing down that was good enough for him. Matt let go of her arm and followed her once they got to the supply room he closed the door and put the clip board away. "Gabby look at me" he knew she was going to either unload on him or be a bit sarcastic. That was just how she was. But his voice was calmer now, less like her boss and more like well the level headed side of Matt. Matt's hand gently came to the side of her face just to get her to turn her head towards him if anything. He kept his touch. Right, now he was going to have to be the one apologizing. “I appreciate that Gabby but you can't unload on a Lieutenant. At least not THAT Lieutenant. You want to snap at one, you're looking at one right here who will put up with it.” The two were excellent at keeping things separate but as her Lieutenant he couldn't let that slide without saying something to diffuse it. He tugged her close, even if she was going to fight back he kissed the top of her head. If he could get her to calm down and take a few breathes before they went back and spoke to Kelly, maybe then Brittany could get Kelly to sit and talk? That woman could get him to do just about anything. Notes , other cool stuff
